Seat 6: Dominik Desset, Slovakia – 1,218,000

The only locally-based Slovakian to make the Bratislava final table, Dominik Desset has been a professional for two years, despite being the tender age of 20. He had been interested in the game as a teenager, started to take No Limit Hold’em tournaments seriously when he turned 18, and hasn’t looked back since. Desset manages to keep a work/life balance off the tables partly thanks to his girlfriend, who is not on the rail – yet. His previous results include a 3rd place finish, worth € 83,500, in the German Poker Championships in Rozvadov last year.
